I knew about this one. It is the only plushie I do not want in my gallery, because I really, really don't like Spongebob. I made the mistake of telling a fellow guildie this, and he sent me six of them. -.-
 
Ooh, guides! Awesome, thank you for sharing!
 
Yay! Doctor Who references! (I did see the comment earlier about it, but hadn't looked it up. Now I want one...)

oh and speaking of Doctor Who , The Grim Faerie Statue is a reference to the Weeping Angels from the show ...

The Dramatic Chipmunk wears Dramatic Meepit Eye Shadow

I found a guide!
 
We heard you liked spinning the Wheel of Monotony... Now you can spin the Wheel of Monotony while spinning the Wheel of Monotony! The Miniature Wheel of Monotony is a reference to the Xzibit meme
 
xD

I know Shrubbery (of various forms) is around, and that's also a Python reference. I think there might be an item that references the coconuts being knocked together to make the sound of horses. *goes to find*
 
ETA: And the item is Half Coconut Shell: When you bang two of these together they make a nice clip clopping sound.

Ooh, Firefly? Do you remember the names of any of the items? I love Firefly and anything Joss Whedon.

I get frustrated with the filter, as well, but I've learned to value safe spaces on the internet. I'm super-happy that I won't accidentally run across various slurs, some of which can trigger me if I'm not prepared. There's so much vitriol elsewhere; let's have this innocent space. I would *love* to get to know some of my guildies better outside of Neo, since we can't talk about larger issues on Neo--like solidarity around LGBT identity, for example. The time I ran into the filter on 'gay' was jarring. I mean, I know it's used in bullying ways a lot, but ... I'm very involved with various social justice issues, and I can't talk about a lot of them on Neo.
 
I think I'm getting wrapped around my own explanation. I guess my point is I'm on the fence. I value the safe space where I won't run into triggering discussions even while I'm frustrated by censoring words like 'uncle' and 'skill'. Is there a way to improve the system? I'm not sure.
